Finding Manufacture of aftermarket wheels

Ok so I lost the little center peice on my wheels today. I want to find a replacement but i havn't a clue who made the wheel. Do they usually list it somewhere on the rim?

Some wheel manufacturers do stamp their name somewhere on the wheel itself. BBS often buries it between the spokes. If I recall correctly, Kosei and Enkei often put it on the backside of the spokes and/or mounting area. I don't know if there is a universal location.

Take a wheel off and look at it from the back side.

Evil. It says "mazda" on the center. The guy who had the car befor me did that. I hoping to pull the wheel tomorrow, maybe thursday and see if there is any markings on it. I tried finding the for sale post that posted the name on them, but it won't show up. Also the guy that i bought them from no longer is active here. So i guess i just hope for the name on the wheel.
